Installation
1. Dry-fit the windshield glass on the existing urethane adhesive bead on the pinch weld.
-
Position the windshield glass on the pinch weld.
-
Center the glass in the opening.
-
Adjust the windshield glass stop blocks (if equipped) as needed for best fit.
-
Make alignment marks with tape or non-staining grease pencil (preferably at the windshield glass stop blocks) on the windshield glass and the
body.
2. After the dry-fit alignment, remove the glass from the body opening and place on a stable work surface with the interior side of the glass facing
upward.
3. WARNING: Repair any corrosion found on the pinch weld. The pinch weld is a structural component of the vehicle. Corrosion left
unrepaired may reduce the structural integrity of the vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious injury to vehicle
occupant(s).
NOTE: Avoid scratching the pinch weld. For minor scratches or exposed metal on the pinch weld, see the manufacturer's recommendations.
Using an appropriate tool, trim the urethane adhesive leaving a 1-2 mm (0.04-0.08 in) base of original equipment urethane on the pinchweld.
4. Using a clean shop towel, brush or oil-free compressed air, clean the pinch weld area around the existing urethane. Remove any foreign material or
water that may have entered during glass removal.
5. If reinstalling the same windshield glass, remove the remaining urethane adhesive from the glass leaving a thin layer to bond with the new urethane
bead.
